Cooper Kupp News
Friday, May 29, 10:59 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp posted one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2025, recording 47 catches for 593 yards and two touchdowns on 70 targets across 16 games. After many years as a WR1 with the Los Angeles Rams, Kupp fell into a secondary role in Seattle behind superstar Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Entering 2026, Kupp still projects to be behind Smith-Njigba on the target pecking order and may also slip below younger Seattle wideouts Rashid Shaheed and Tory Horton. While the veteran Kupp still provides value as a trusty possession receiver, he no longer offers the same production upside he did at his peak as he enters his age-33 season. In dynasty formats, managers may want to consider dropping Kupp in favor of a younger pass-catcher.

Michael Pittman Jr. News
Sunday, April 19, 7:59 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. will get a fresh start in 2026 following an offseason trade. Dealt from the Colts to the Steelers, Pittman will slot in as a starting wide receiver opposite DK Metcalf next year. He offers a major upgrade for the Steelers, who endured a rough season of Calvin Austin III as their No. 2 receiver last year. Pittman was impressive when quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was healthy, averaging 11.4 fantasy points per game (half-PPR) and ranking as the overall WR8. However, his production took a hit when Jones was ruled out for the season. Therein lies the biggest question mark for Pittman in 2026. We still don't know who his quarterback will be in Pittsburgh. An Aaron Rodgers return seems probable, but nothing is imminent. Assuming Rodgers does return to the Steelers, he could support top-25 finishes from both Metcalf and Pittman. We're encouraged by Pittman's new opportunity, as the Steelers' decision to trade for him shows how much they want to get him involved on offense. He currently ranks as the WR52 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, so managers who have higher expectations could opt to buy low on Pittman this offseason.
